Abstract
Abstract While high-performance semiconductor devices encapsulated with a resin composition are subject to the problem of wrong operation due to the alpha-particles emitted from the trace amounts of radioactive impurities, e.g. uranium and thorium, contained in the silica filler incorporated in the resin composition, a means for solving this problem is provided by use of a silicon dioxide powder obtained by the pyrolysis of a volatilizable silicon compound free from radioactive impurities in an oxidizing condition and having an average particle diameter in the range from 0.5 to 100 mu m in place of the conventional silica fillers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A resin composition for resin encapsulation of a semiconductor device which comprises: 100 parts by weight of a synthetic resin and from 50 to 800 parts by weight of a powder of silicon dioxide having an average particle diameter in the range from 0.5 to 100 μm and dispersed in the synthetic resin, said powder of silicon dioxide having been prepared by pyrolyzing a volatilizable silicon compound having a radioactive impurity content not exceeding 10 p.p.b. in an oxidizing condition to form a silicon dioxide in a fused state followed by cooling into a glasssy state and then imparting the silicon dioxide in the glassy state with an average particle diameter in the range from 0.5 to 100 μm.
